Research direction

Start by reading the current wording of [[diff.class]/3] and the linked C Issue 1007 and N3902 references. Verify whether the C2Y change removes the stated divergence while preserving the distinction for C23; done means the draft text accurately reflects the applicable C and C++ rules.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

According to C Issue 1007 the proposal N3902 was accepted into C2Y. This would mean that the divergence between C and C++ described in [diff.class]/3 no longer is true. Should this text be updated accordingly? It appears that it was not retroactively applied to C23, though.
